Here is the List:
WCF, our watering hole
- Battles and Book Reviews, my site where most of you guys have an account already.
- Spearpoint, another site I own but I don't really do much with it.
- Interleague Sports, Donnie's sports (Louisville Cards) site
- Writers of History, Donnie's historiography site
- Christian Legacies, Donnie's religious themed forum
I think that is all. Let me know if I missed any.On a related thought, does anybody know if they still do webrings? I don't remember seeing one for at least 2-3 years. I have registered m blog with all of the blog aggregators I can find and one or two even drive traffic my way but not enough to make a huge difference. Most of the traffic I get is direct traffic or search referrals.
My Louisville site is CardinalsOnline.comI will be putting those links up as well. I also have Tribulation Project and have integrated it into Christian Legacies. Don't forget about Medieval Wall as well. That site is really well done.
Notch you have some very solid sites. Color me impressed. I will definitely check out your Historical Christian site often. I bookmarked them both.

Thanks... I need to update more than I do... But we are in the process of moving, so I am hoping to have more time... 😉
I have found that maintaining a fairly reliable schedule of blog updates keeps my readers coming back. I generally try to have at least one substantive post per week with minor posts in between. That being said, some of my old school papers that I put up get quite a bit of traffic too.
If you guys have added my Civil War blog to your recipricol links, you can go ahead and remove it… I am moving most of my writing over to my HubPages account which has been paying me fairly well with the articles I have there.After looking at analytics, I get very little traffic at my Civil War page and a decent amount at my HubPages account, so posting my Civil War articles there will increase my readership.If interested: http://nickburchett.hubpages.com/Oh... also, remove the Christian History link as well... I will most likely be moving that soon as well...

It is now updated on my page
I have made the changes here.BTW, if you don't mind me asking, what is the payout structure like at Hubpages? Do they pay you a fixed rate based upon the number of page views? Followers? I have come across Hubpages articles from time to time but never looked at the service very closely.

From HubPages:
You earn money through online advertising (Google AdSense and the HubPages Ad Program) and/or affiliate referrals (displayed in the form of Amazon and eBay Capsules). Every time someone views one of your Hubs, ads are displayed. 60% of the time, these ads can generate revenue for you, and 40% of the time, the ads can generate revenue for HubPages. You can set up an AdSense account with Google through a simple form. Once you hit their minimum payout, you will get paid directly by Google.eBay and Amazon products are optionally featured in your Hubs through Capsules—you decide which products to highlight. However, Google AdSense and the Ad Program automatically display ads in your Hub—no Capsules are needed. In order to participate in the Ad, eBay, or Amazon Programs, you must activate the HubPages Earnings Program. The HubPages Earnings Program provides a way for HubPages to pay you directly for the Ad, eBay, and Amazon Programs, and other things like contest prize winnings. Once you hit the minimum earnings in the HubPages Earnings Program, you will get paid by HubPages directly.
Obviously relevance, popularity, etc are going to be the main driver in your revenue. I gurantee a hubber posting reviews of the lastest garbage on TV, gossip, current events, etc are gonna score big. Same for politics and religion. History... yeah, not so much... BUT... for me, I just enjoy writing and reading some of the positive comments I get. AND I have made a little money in the process. I have not figured my average, but I received a check a couple months back for $50. It took a while, but was a nice little surprise. However, since then I have been seeing an increase in my revenue and already have $22 in a couple months...If anyone here signs up BE SURE to use my link... the commission program works like this:
You'll give people you know a specially-encoded link to a page on HubPages. If they click on that link and sign up within 30 days, and before they click on someone else's specially-encoded link, then you'll enjoy 10% of their lifetime impressions automatically. That 10% comes out of our share, not theirs; they will earn 60% of impressions whether they sign up through you or not.
For me the referral link is: http://hubpages.com/_njb1966/user/new/All hubs (articles) remain your property, you can post as often or as little as your schedule allows, you can post on pretty much whatever you want (as long as it falls under their TOS - no porn, etc.) the ads aren't terribly intrusive, and managing your hubs is pretty simple.Let me know if anyone signs up or wwants more info...
